Intelligent Video Analytics Software…

Viseum introduced Video Analytics Software to the world. Our International Patents are testament to us developing and supporting video analysis technologies for far longer than any other organisation in the world.

Remaining Ahead of Crime and Terror

To remain ahead of terrorists and other criminals it is critical to bring cutting-edge CCTV Security and Surveillance Technology to market in the fastest possible way. Our processes and infrastructure to deliver this security success have evolved over the longest period of time, to produce the most robust and highly effective routines turning innovation into practical intelligent CCTV analytics software solutions.

Delivering the highest levels of CCTV security and surveillance for situational awareness in complex and challenging environments, this software provides line-of-sight CCTV surveillance using fixed contextual view cameras to automatically detect and record, and to control the Viseum PTZ Camera to automatically confirm and record.

Working completely standalone for secure management via the Internet, or integrated with remote CCTV monitoring command and control, Viseum IMCs are well proven to provide at least 25 times more court-quality evidence than any other camera solution, by giving greater coverage than multiple fixed camera installations and better performance than intermittently manned PTZ moving cameras.

iVOS Standard Intelligent Video Analytics Software

By automatically learning its environments, and ignoring rain and other movements such as trees and bushes blowing in the wind, the Intelligent Virtual Operator Software permits effective monitoring night and day in all types of weather (subject to available ambient or artificial light).

Incident detection and behavioural recognition capabilities are based on the study of objects in real-time environments, to meet specific salient surveillance requirements for populated and unpopulated open areas that generate random crimes. It measures and compares various parameters relating to the basic laws of physics, such as size, shape, time, speed, and location, and then applies decision rules based on local knowledge of the environment to recognize particular types of activity in particular areas.

To achieve its excellent day and night detection performance and the quality of evidence required, Viseum Video Analytics Software uses fixed wide-angle contextual view cameras to the highest specification available for each remote site. These cameras are more sensitive than a human eye in low-light conditions, and combined with its disciplined automation in maintaining vigilance, our advanced Video Analytics Software is well-proven to detect activity in larger and more distant areas more effectively than a human eye.

Automated Activity/Target Selection

Developed through listening and watching many UK CCTV operators, by default this software uses a points system to select targets based on where they are and what they are doing. This means that if there are several activities meeting the same surveillance profile, the system will target the activity with the most points.

Where multiple events occur simultaneously, it can be instructed to switch the PTZ Camera between events using this points system and the activities’ location. This allows close-up evidence to be captured of everything and has the added benefit of preventing diversion tactics.

Another key functionality of Viseum’s Intelligent Virtual Operator Software is its ability to automatically meet UK Home Office Guidelines for zoom levels required for court evidence. The method of selecting the appropriate zoom level is easily adjusted to meet local operational policies or individual user requirements.

Integrated into command control legacy systems, or using Viseum’s Graphical User Interface (GUI), the PTZ Camera can be manually moved at any time. For rapid manned response, Viseum’s advanced ‘Point & Go’ functionality can be used to have the PTZ Camera go to wherever needed with just one click of the screen.

Proactive Alert Options

User-specified triggers are set by Viseum’s Remote Managed Support Service to proactively alert manned response units using the following mobile phone-based options:

Audio and/or video alert.

SMS text.

Images of the trigger sent via MMS.

Surveillance Profiles Scheduling

As part of our security Video AnalyticsSoftware libraries, standard surveillance profiles are available to fit the majority of real-life environments, and new profiles are produced for customized applications by our Remote Managed Support (RMS) services, who are on-hand to help ensure the surveillance profiles are optimized for each area under observation.

These profiles are easily selected from a drop-down menu and any number of different profiles for any number of specific areas can be set for different times of the day over a seven day period.

Local Knowledge Crime Hotspot Management

Any numbers of areas are easily given 1 of 3 levels of priority. For example, activities in certain areas can be given relevant priority:

Criminal damage – catch people in the act and see where they come from and go to.

Focal points for illegal activities – catch close-up evidence of offenders and evidence of their crime.

iVOS Graphical User Interface (GUI)

To benefit from Viseum’s secure on-line remote camera control or post-event video retrieval, all that is needed to get started is familiarity with browsing the Internet.

This browser-based GUI was developed by listening to end-user needs so it’s very familiar and easy to use. All that is needed to securely access Viseum’s GUI is a PC or laptop, using any operating system with any web browser software.

With our Video AnalyticsSoftware, recordings are downloadable in user-selectable video player formats, and at various qualities, to match available investigation time: e.g. from rapid, low-quality images for local intelligence, up to the highest quality court evidence.

Windows Media Player or SMPlayer.

Viseum’s Multi-View Player – play all camera views at once to investigate the event and what else happened around it.

Advanced encryption privacy – option for images to never be viewed by any unauthorized persons.

(The Advanced NVR/DVR Software is sold optionally with the Viseum iVOS Video Analytics Software.)

The Viseum iVOS monitoring software operating system is based on our highly robust propriety Software Platform. This software package is available to support the many different hardware architectures available today. This makes hardware procurement both easier, and encourages the integration of the Viseum IMC technology with a greater number of third-party products.

Hardware Manufacture and Quality Control Management

The Viseum Intelligent Video Analytics Software system is future-proofed by providing single pixel definition from its fixed cameras and matching PTZ Camera control accuracy. As camera hardware technologies improve, the Viseum system’s detection and intelligence gathering range and performance will increase with them.

To ensure quality control and legal production of any product using our Video Analytics Software, an advanced licensing encryption system is implemented during the build process of any system using Viseum VCA software, using a variety of hardware certification processes.

Hardware Maintenance

Immediate or potential hardware problems are dealt with as they occur using Viseum’s remote managed support (RMS) software watchdog and self-repair services. For ease and efficiency of maintenance, the unique local application configuration and certification is securely backed up on the iVOS Camera Controller’s compact flash card.

Third-Party Product Integration

The built-in Viseum protocol analyzer enables integration with any command control equipment using major brand PTZ Camera protocols to enhance the performance of any control room operations. Using the Viseum SDK and API, third-party products can be integrated with and benefit from enhanced Viseum VCA software functionality.

Customisation Developments on Request

The Viseum GUI is very popular and familiar. A selection of other GUIs can be used or a customer GUI can be produced. Any PTZ Camera protocols can be supported following quality control and patent licensing.
